Instructions are in the README for both nxcl and qtnx, with George making a 
correction about the use of qmake for qtnx. The previous poster obviously 
missed this bit which is needed to generate ./configure and the Makefiles for 
nxcl:
	autoreconf -is

If you're talking about libXcomp, nxssh and nxproxy these are released under 
GPL by nomachine. George's README even inclides a link to the sources:
	http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php

Source RPMs for nx libs are in the Fedora repositories. Tarballs are at the 
nomachine link above.
